Just had a verbal quote given to me.
Bumper
Bonnet
Side mirrors
Strip on boot
R17000 to R18000 k

With out a doubt anyone getting a new car, the R5000 for the bumper should be first added option extra.
My bumper is chipped badly in 3 months of use and I kick myself for thinking I could better use the cash.

Re spray and VPS is now R7k, with the risk of poor paint match.

Alternative to VPS?
I've used VPS Midrand and VPS Edenvale before. They both do great work.

Go for full panels else it'll look bad.

As Iv'e said, I've had the following done:
-Full bonnet
-Full bumper
-Full fenders (excl the bit by the 86 emblem)
-Headlights
-Indicator & fog lights
-Mirrors
-Top strip on the rear bumper

It was around R7500 if I remember correctly. VPS uses 3M film which is quality stuff. There may be cheaper alternatives but it would probably go yellow within a year or 2.

Forgot to mention - had the same done on my previous car but it had a shorted bonnet and I didn't do full fenders. That cost around R6000(VPS Midrand), so the R7500 at VPS Edenvale wasn't some special price or anything, it's what it's supposed to cost.

R17k really is a ripoff and if it's a VPS franchise they should be reported.

Agreed, however there 2 of us now from Gauteng and KZN with roughly same figures, so maybe someone should get a quote from your recommended and let's pose the question why such a substantial price difference.

Good idea. I mean if Midrand and Edenvale are charging the same then surely the rest should be the same. It would be funny if the 2 branches with the crazy quotes belonged to the same person.

BTW
You could probably get the whole car vinyl wrapped for close to R20k.
